Through design and operations, M Club offer elevated services and amenities that go beyond the standard Concierge Lounge requirements.

DRIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT • Gain back keys in high-occupancy markets. • Grow upsell revenue (more space & more desirable space to sell at a higher premium rate). • Drive incremental F&B revenue. • Increase asset value. • Improve operational effectiveness through space adjacencies. DELIVER ON AN ELEVATED EXPERIENCE GUESTS LOVE • Increase guest satisfaction. • Strong appeal to our status-driven target guest. • Drive brand consideration.
Hold the “M Club” moniker with pride and reserve it for only those lounges that have been certified in accordance with the product and operating standards.

MACRO ADJACENCY DIAGRAM
ADJACENCY CONSIDERATIONS LEVERAGE ARRIVAL/RECEPTION ADJACENCY: Visibility of the M Club from the hotel entrance and reception area of the hotel creates a sense of allure and encourages future Lounge guests to strive for that level of loyalty or perhaps upgrade their stay with the purchase of a daily pass. LEVERAGE GREATROOM ADJACENCY: Locating the M Club adjacent to the Greatroom enables the hotel to leverage Greatroom hosts and operations. LEVERAGE RESTAURANT ADJACENCY: Restaurant adjacency provides leveraging opportunities for hosts, back-of-house prep, storage, refuse and breakfast buffet. RECEPTION UPSELL OPPORTUNITY: Leverage upsell opportunities when guests check in at the front desk. Promote and identify M Club during the check-in process. GREATROOM UPSELL OPPORTUNITY: Communicate menus both verbally and visually. When an in-Lounge host is present, he/she should take orders and deliver these F&B items to the guests in the M Club. Effective signage and communication is key to Greatroom upsell success. RESTAURANT UPSELL OPPORTUNITY: Communicate menus both verbally and visually through menus and made available to guests for purchase. When an in-Lounge host is present, he/she should take orders and deliver these F&B items to the guests in the M Club. Effective signage and communication is key to restaurant upsell success.

DESIGN I SCHEMATIC REQUIREMENTS
SCHEMATIC CONCEPT KEY EXPERIENCES
The design aims to offer enhanced physical spaces, food and beverage experiences, technology amenities and our signature hosting experience to our most valued guests. These components should work together to provide executive-level service in a supportive and flexible environment. Our guests today seek spaces that allow them to shift seamlessly between work and play. Four core experiences that are essential to the M Club environment: WEL COME: Based on engaging with guests on an emotional level, welcome represents an effortless and dynamic arrival experience that enhances all aspects of the guest interaction, making them feel comfortable and at home in the M Club. Arrival to the lounge should also signify a transition from the public space to an elevated and exclusive part of the hotel where only our most valuable guests and those who have upgraded have access.
FUEL: Many guests use the M Club to prepare themselves for the day. Guests can sit-down for breakfast, easily grab a quick coffee/tea and breakfast item to-go, prepare for the day ahead, and/or use the space for a common meeting space with their colleagues before they transition in to their professional day.
C H I L L : The experience provides opportunities for guests to decompress, relax, and recharge, either individually or in small groups, in an exclusive space away from the masses. It is space where guests can transition from work to play as the moment arises with access to comfortable seating, food & drink, and connectivity. W ORK: A productive and motivating environment where guests can work individually, without being completely alone, with access to light snacks and drinks in a semi-private space that acts as an extension of their room. M Club can also be a creative option for small meetings, impromptu discussions, and blended social business get-togethers.

ENTRANCE
A benefit of relocating the M Club to the public space is visibility. By positioning this amenity next to the Greatroom, guests are reminded of this exclusive but achievable level of status. The entryway should deliver an elevated arrival experience that recognizes the status of the Lounge guest. The doorway should allow glimpses of visibility and a peek inside, creating a sense of envy and encouraging future guests to strive for that level of loyalty. While providing glimpses inside, the design of the entrance should also provide privacy for current Lounge guests and create a sense of separation. SIGNAGE On-brand strategy signage should provide an elevated arrival experience and clearly direct members to the VISIBILITY Entry should offer a glimpse into the Lounge to create a sense of allure and envy but also maintain a sense of privacy and exclusivity for members. LIGHTING The host station design must be able to stand on its own during non-peak hours when a host is not present.

HOST STATION (OPTIONAL)
During peak hours, the host station is moved outside of the M Club and serves as a stand-up home base for hosts welcoming guests. As the host will only use this piece during peak hours, consider its appearance when not in use. It should be designed with durable high-end finishes so that it transforms into a beautiful and functional piece object when not in use. The host station should accommodate electricity for charging stations, access to PMS, lighting and storage.

M CLUB ICONIC DOOR
The entrance to M Club should set the tone for the experience. Elevated materiality, thoughtfully integrated hardware and unique details should reflect the design aesthetic and attitude of the premium club. The Iconic Door is key-card enabled and the requisite hardware should be integrated into the door design.
NOTE: In cases where the M Club is using an adjacent restaurant breakfast buffet in lieu of setting up breakfast in the lounge, the M Club is required to have a secondary entrance with an automatic sliding door. This is a functional requirement that ensures guests can seamlessly enter and exit the space while carrying breakfast.

M CLUB SENSE OF ARRIVAL
Architectural feature walls, dramatic focal light fixtures, or statement art derived from elements of the Artistic Hand (Marriott’s signature art concept) should be employed after the guest passes through the Iconic Door into the transitional space between the public realm and the premium M Club. The entry decor should not echo the public space look and feel or feel like an extension of the corridor.

DESIGN I SCHEMATIC REQUIREMENTS
GRAB & GO STATION
This self-serve 24-hour Grab & Go station should be beautifully appointed with built-in casework to display beverage offerings since it will not be serviced by an attendant at all times. This unit should be smartly designed, maximizing efficiencies of space. The design should accommodate coffee, soda, juice, tea, water and snacks. Key requirements include:
- Self-serve refrigerator - Automated coffee machine/espresso-based drinks - Display area for disposable to-go cups and lids - Integrated trash/recycling stations
- Water station - Display area for glassware - Dedicated area for coffee condiments - Display area for snacks
DISPLAYS Bulk snacks should be presented in curated display containers with an upscale, residential look. Vessels should be both functional and decorative.
FINISH MATERIALS Consider durable countertop and wall finishes to allow for easy maintenance of F&B areas. Finishes should reflect the Marriott Modern aesthetic.
GLASS/ CUP STORA GE Consider integrated millwork shelving for water glasses and coffee cups located adjacent to the water station and espresso coffee machine within guests’ reach.
UNDERCOUNTER STORAGE Provide undercounter cabinet storage to facilitate re-stocking of Grab & Go items. Cabinets must have locking capability.
LIGHTING Focused lighting should highlight self-serve F&B elements. Consider zoned dimmability for the needs of each day part.

DESIGN I SCHEMATIC REQUIREMENTS
SPACE PLANNING & SEATING
To meet the diverse, individualized needs of our guests, it is important to accommodate a variety of seating options. Our emerging guest demographic seeks less formal, more flexible environments for their shifting work/play lifestyle. The design of the Lounge should reflect this lifestyle with opportunities to create innovative, nontraditional seating arrangements that support the core experiences of “Gather,” “Chill,” and “Collaborate.”
DINING While the goal is to avoid a “sea of tables,” provide some options for standard dining arrangements of tables and chairs.
COMMUNAL This style of seating works for individuals as well as small groups. Power sources should be incorporated into the design of the table to accommodate personal laptops as well as charging stations that the hotel would supply.
INDIVIDU AL Pair chairs with work-height tables to allow the guest to eat and work simultaneously. Power sources should be incorporated into furniture or located nearby for easy charging.
LOUNGE Modular seating arrangements allow guests to relax in an informal environment. Functional tables at various heights accommodate work and food simultaneously. Rugs at lounge seating groupings, soften hard surface flooring. Chandeliers or pendant lights differentiate lounge area.
SEMI-PRIVATE These are good spaces for small groups to collaborate or enjoy a more intimate dining opportunity. To accommodate various business needs, these should include power and dedicated media screens. This area can also accommodate overflow breakfast seating.
25
Marriott International Confidential & Proprietary Information
DESIGN I SCHEMATIC REQUIREMENTS
F&B BUFFET All M Clubs will have an Island buffet to handle food and beverage offerings. The overall look and feel should follow a high end residential kitchen concept. The design of the buffet should allow for an open concept with aesthetically appointed display/storage solution for dishes and closed storage for other service elements. In M Clubs without an adjacent Greatroom, the buffet must be large enough to accommodate breakfast service. In M Clubs where guests will utilize the Greatroom buffet, the Lounge buffet can be smaller to provide service for snacks and lighter F&B service throughout the day and evening.
FINISHES Finishes of the F&B station should reflect the Marriott Modern design aesthetic while also considering durability and maintenance.
STORAGE Consider integrated open and closed millwork storage for plates, bowls and glassware on the buffet. This provides easy access for guests during meal periods and for hosts to restock.
RESIDENTIAL CONCEPT Design concept for F&B station should have a high-end residential look and feel.
EQUIP MENT Locate self-serve beverage stations and equipment near the F&B buffet. Consider integrating hot holding and refrigerators below the station counter.
LIGHTING Decorative overhead lighting creates focus on the primary F&B element. Adjustable downlights highlight the bar setup, hors d’oeuvres, or buffet and zoned dimming addresses the lighting needs as the day progresses.

WORK ZONE
While complimentary high-speed wifi and flexible seating enables guests to work anywhere in the M Club , dedicated areas help support this key experience to a greater degree. Privacy screens, lighting attuned for work, millwork with integrated functionality and thoughtful consideration of power outlet locations and accessibility is crucial to delivering a productive experience.
Also provide: • Wireless printing capabilities • Optional: Web-based computer access for guests. Consider an upon-request modern mobile tablet solution.
MILLWORK Millwork design should be purposeful to allow for equipment and power to be seamlessly integrated into the area. Consider open shelving for books adjacent to the printing station with storage below for equipment and supplies.
PRIVA CY SCREEN Consider sensitivity to guests’ privacy in the location and orientation as well as the form of the work focused area. Lack of privacy will deter and limit usage.
LOG-IN SIGNAGE Wi-Fi and tablet log-in information should be thoughtful and integrated into the design to prevent signage from being unintentionally moved. Appropriate signage at the point of use facilitates guest experience. Consider locally relevant forms and materials for signage, in line with Marriott Modern strategies.
LIGHTING Lighting should provide sufficient light levels appropriate for computer use. Consider location of light fixtures to prevent glare and zoned dimmability for the needs of each day part.

BACK OF HOUSE/ PANTRY
A pantry is optional for locations where the hotel kitchen and/or restaurant is within 100 feet of the M Club Lounge. If M Club is not within 100 ft, a pantry is required. STORAGE & REPLENISHMENT Consider storage opportunities in the pantry area to provide back-up items for dishware, bulk food items, liquor, and to-go cups and containers. Cabinets should have locking capability. Cabinetry in optional pantry provides convenient replenishment opportunities. Leverage efficiencies through adjacent location of F&B items. SERVICE DISH AREA & TRASH DROP Provide dish drop bins area for dishes, glasses and silverware and trash cans for refuse. This area should be integrated in such a way that the bins can easily be removed and swapped when full. Dish area should be located adjacent to the trash drop. GUEST FACING DISH AREA & TRASH DROPS If M Club is unmanned, a guest use station can be appropriate. It should be considered as part of a flow diagram. They should be integrated into a piece of millwork, not within direct view of dining guests, to provide the appearance of an intentional element.\While integrated and subtle, the trash and dish areas should be placed intuitively for guests to locate when they choose to bus their own items. LOCATION If pantry is needed due to extended distance from Greatroom or restaurant, locate it away from primary member areas. While pantry should be accessible to staff, consider design strategies that will conceal backof- house operations from members’ view. The design should be aesthetically pleasing to maintain an overall elevated experience

OUTDOOR SPACE (OPTIONAL)
Having a Lounge that extends beyond the interior space of the hotel provides an added amenity to guests.
FLEXIBLE SEATING Ideally, flexible seating arrangements provided to allow guests to enjoy the “Welcome,” “Gather,” “Chill,” and “Collaborate” experiences in the outdoor environment as well as places where guests can feel comfortable sitting individually to work or relax.
SHADING DEVICES To make this environment as functional as possible, consider shading devices.
CONNECTIVITY Provide power so that guests can use digital devices.
SOCIAL ELEMENTS As space allows, create areas with a fire or water element to encourage gatherings.
SERVICE STATION Out spaces should have a supply of items to accommodate guest needs and support menu, silverware, napkins, water glasses, etc.

Focused lighting and zoned dimmability allow various components to adapt to the needs of the various day parts. HARMONY Create harmony in the space by relating design elements through similar architectural features, thoughtful organization or common scale and form. TEXTURE Use of varied texture throughout the space creates areas of visual interest and emphasis. Consider lighting strategies to highlight textural elements. PATTERN Consider using subtle pattern to create areas of visual interest and focus. Design should follow the Marriott Modern aesthetic. Thoughtful use of architectural elements can be used to emphasize featured areas. VARIED CEILING HEIGHT & FINISHES Varied ceiling heights create unique, individual spaces within the M Club.

LIGHTING - MIXING SOURCES, EFFECTS&EQUIPMENT
SOURCES Well-balanced and enticing lighting solutions use a mix of light sources: “incandescent feel,” fluorescent and LED. Combining different sources offers flexibility when staging the mood from day to night and allows for trade offs that help reduce environmental and operational costs. As incandescent bulbs are phased out, think of ways to “warm-up” the light and mimic incandescent quality. Consider using diffusers, lenses and champagne-tone reflectors. Select dimmable sources for general lighting. EFFECTS Distinctive and sophisticated lighting design engages the senses with a variety of lighting effects. Consider lighting different planes - not just horizontal (tables, floor and ceilings), but also vertical (walls, columns and screens). Create interplay among distinct qualities such as “light pools,” textures, highlights and points of sparkle, to add visual allure to the space. EQUIPMENT Lighting orchestrated to deliver quality and style requires lighting equipment that goes beyond the norm. Think outside the box! When selecting equipment, don’t limit to downlights. Step lights and in-ground uplight fixtures can produce intriguing effects.

TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
• The M Club should feature the highest bandwidth Wi-Fi within the hotel. Integrated instructions should present log-in information intuitively to guests. • Thoughtful consideration should be used regarding the location and quantity of power outlets to allow guests convenient access to charging. Consider opportunities for integrating power within furniture and millwork at locations visible and within reach. Fifty-percent of seating should have access to power. • The Library/business support should provide wireless printing and an accessible computer station. Provide thoughtful consideration to the integration of equipment and wire management. Airline arrival and departure monitors should be considered at airport locations.
ENTRY ADJACENCY CONSIDER ATIONS
TELEVISIONS • Consider guest control of TV programming. Multiple zones of programming satisfy a variety of guests’ viewing preferences. • Consider the proximity of TVs to seating areas. Locating TVs too far or too close can make viewing difficult or uncomfortable. • Consider size and location of TVs relative to the zone. Larger scale TVs are appropriate for open, communal areas while smaller TVs are more suited for more intimate areas and seating arrangements. Consider locations without TVs to accommodate guests who do not wish to watch. MUSIC PROGRAM • Provide music content, speaker and volume control for the M Club separate from the Greatroom and restaurant to allow a comfortable music level in each space throughout the day. • Consider multiple music zones within the M Club to allow variable volume control between social and personal spaces. • Utilize Marriott’s music program tools to provide on-brand strategy music curation. • Ambiance: Music should be adjusted throughout morning, midday and night, similar to lighting adjustments.
• Consider spaces/corridors and activities taking place adjacent to the M Club entry door. To prevent sound transmission into the M Club, install glass and full-height partitions to isolate noise from outside the MClub. • If the M Club entry is located in a main circulation corridor, consider finish materials with sound-absorbing properties to facilitate conversations between the host and members during peak hours. ACOUSTIC SEPARATION BETWEEN ZONES • Incorporate design elements to provide acoustic separation between experience zones. The volume from televisions should not distract members who are working individually. MATERIALITY AND FINISH SELECTIONS • Consider a mix of materials and finishes to avoid all hard surfaces. Area rugs can be installed in strategic areas of the lounge, as well as upholstered furniture and upholstered wall panels. • Consider varied ceiling heights to create unique spaces within the M Club.
